History

The flag of Hungary

In 1940, the Kingdom of Hungary as it was known officially joined the Axis Powers. Hungary was able to claim some land from Romania because of an agreement with Germany, thus increasing the size of its borders. However, at this point, Hungary was not at war or sending troops to aid its allies. That would come in 1941 with the Invasion of Yugoslavia. Regardless, when Operation Barbarossa began, Hungary withheld its declaration of war with the Soviet Union until being prompted by the events of the Kassa Incident.
